2023 Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan - FEP Blue Focus
FEHB Facts

When you lose benefits:
When FEHB coverage ends
 
  • When FEHB coverage ends

You will receive an additional 31 days of coverage, for no additional premium, when:
 
  • Your enrollment ends, unless you cancel your enrollment; or
  • You are a family member no longer eligible for coverage.

Any person covered under the 31-day extension of coverage who is confined in a hospital or other institution for care or treatment on the 31st day of the temporary extension is entitled to continuation of the benefits of the Plan during the continuance of the confinement but not beyond the 60th day after the end of the 31-day temporary extension.

You may be eligible for spouse equity coverage or assistance with enrolling in a conversion policy (non-FEHB individual policy). FEP helps members with Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC) and with finding replacement coverage.
